I am very mature for my age and can be described as: creative, bubbly, reliable, trustworthy, punctual, and upbeat. I absolutely love kids. I currently work at Sylvan Learning Center and I wlove sitting with the kids and talkinga bout their day and just letting them get out the random things they want to talk about because they love when people listen. I feel like I am a good role model for children; I know where I am going in life, I am mature, respectable, and honest. I believe in working hard and caring for others before myself. I know I am only 18, but I have been excited to have children for as long as I remember so I naturally treat all the kids I am around like they are my own. I am creative and outgoing so I like to keep kids active and experimenting with new things. I believe school is very important also, so on weekdays the main focus would be completing all homework and making sure they understand the subject. Other than that I am very loving and caring and in addition to watching over your kids I want to build a trust with them.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 0 references I started babysitting when I was 13, caring for my sister and my one year old cousin.
